Human Brain and Human Learning

Leslie A. Hart
$15.95

One of the first to apply brain research to the classroom, Leslie Hart invented the now widely-used term, "brain-compatible." In Human Brain & Human Learning, he describes how the brain works naturally — seeking patterns in its attempt to make meaning of the world and developing meaningful programs to use what it understands. The terms "pattern seeking" and "program building" are now accepted as general functions of the brain. Hart's view of how the brain learns — and his brain-based definition of learning — are powerful tools for developing curriculum and selecting instructional strategies. Excellent reading for parents as well as teachers. (402 pages)
